We must cultivate forgiving hearts so as to be fitting heavens for our God.
Homily for Friday in the Eighth Week in Ordinary Time, delivered in Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, Gladstone, Qld.
"Let us praise illustrious men, our ancestors in their successive generations." (cf. Eccl 44).
"Sing a new song to the Lord, his praise in the assembly of the faithful. Let Israel rejoice in its Maker, let Zion’s sons exult in their king. Let them praise his name with dancing and make music with timbrel and harp. For the Lord takes delight in his people. He crowns the poor with salvation." (Ps 149).
"Next morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered to the roots. Peter remembered. ‘Look, Rabbi,’ he said to Jesus, ‘the fig tree you cursed has withered away.’ Jesus answered, ‘Have faith in God; everything you ask and pray for, believe that you have it already, and it will be yours. And when you stand in prayer, forgive whatever you have against anybody, so that your Father in heaven may forgive your failings too. But if you do not forgive, your Father in heaven will not forgive your failings either.’" (cf. Mk 11).
